Poyet maps Albions future

Couldn't be bothered to type it all out!

Not online yet, so until it is

f*** a taxi, going to need a people carrier come Summer.

 

[porkypie]

Clear out in the summer then!!!

 

[Cheshire]

I like the man - that means no more waiting until the deadline hour of the transfer window to see if we have signed anyone decent from what ever player was still available!

He wants to do business as soon as the window opens.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Sounds like he's got money if he wants it too.

I agree, the only bad news is that this season is going to be another write-off, because he has now confirmed that he will only do what is necessary to ensure we stay up, and then build his team in the summer.

Oh well, next season looks exciting already!

"My dream is to have 22 or 23 players in the first team squad on July 1" Isnt that the day the window opens

Dont players contracts run out on 30th June? that would be some going by Gus

Am I the only one who reads Gus Poyet's quotes in my head with a Spanish/Uruguayan accent?

I hope not.

You're not.

I like the sound of what I read there. The man knows what he wants to do, doesn't want to wait until the last minute to get things sorted and, by the sound of it, has the backing (both generally and financially) of the Chairman to carry out this plan.

 

[Everest]

Never mind the playing staff, is he gonna get someone to replace Frank Spencer?

 

[HseagullsH]

We need to keep Murray, Bennett and McNulty for sure. I am sure they'd be in Gus's first 11 come next season.

I'd also keep Elphick, Tunnicliffe, Whing, Dicker, Crofts, Forster, Davies, Kuipers


Time for players like Cox to be shown the door.

 

[Mendoza]

I get the feeling we may do somethign mad like spend £1million on one player in the summer

 

[Rookie]

Another summer of NSC going into meltdown about coming and going then, can't wait

 

[The Grockle]

I think you may be right, if not a million I can certainly see us beating our record transfer paid of 500k in 1980.

This also sends a very clear message to all the current players - this time we are not just talking about getting promotion, we really mean it. If they can't imagine themselves playing in the kind of Leeds, Norwich or Charlton teams that we just played, then they are on their way.

Agree but it's a bit depressing to think that could have been written when Slade was appointed!

 

[John Dorian]

Gus appears to be a very proactive manager. Exciting times. Lets all just hope that he ships out the deadwood that we are so used to watching and bring in some real quality players and get us championship bound.

 

[Wozza]

Um... Naylor reports, in the first para, that Poyet wants his "own 22 players, which implies 22 new players.

But Poyet just says he wants a squad of "22 or 23 players"...

So he thinks that one of the current lot might make it?

 

[Mellotron]

We only need to change about 5-6 players I would say.
